Ferrari took a gamble electrifying the mid-engine sports car. The 296 GTB is the payout.
Under the glass engine cover sits a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 paired with an electric motor for a combined 819 horsepower. Off the line, the instant electric torque fills every gap the turbos would otherwise leave.
Thrill without the guilt
Pure electric mode lets you slip out of the neighbourhood in silence. A button press unleashes the full hybrid fury — 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds.
The steering is alive with feedback, the brakes progressive despite the regen blending. This is the future done right.
